Improving Reception and Increasing Range

Keeping the distance from the base station and beltpack as short, and unobstructed as possible will produce the most reliable performance.

The base station is supplied with two antennas. This should provide satisfactory system performance in most applications. System range can be enhanced by remoting the 1/2-wave antennas.

If a multiple base station system is being config- ured, it is best to use a splitter/combiner (SC-600) with remote antennas for the best performance.
